The parent isotope is cobalt-59 (see the picture below).
The mass number is 59 and atomic number is 27 of the parent isotope.
Neutron activation is the process in which atomic nucleus capture free neutron or neutrons.
Cobalt-60 is produced in nuclear reactors in process of neutron activation from parent isotope cobalt-59 (see the picture below).
Atomic number (Z) is total number of protons and mass number (A) is total number of protons and neutrons in a nucleus.
Cobalt-59 and cobalt-60 are the isotopes of chemical element cobalt.
Isotopes are chemical elements with same atomic number (Z), but different mass number (different number of neutrons).

The equation for the nuclear fusion reaction is,
4 ¹₁H → ₂⁴He + 2 ₁⁰e
Calculation of mass defect,
Δm = [mass of products - mass of reactants]
= 4(1.00782) - [4.00260 + 2(0.00054858)]
= 0.0275828 g/mole
Given that,
Mass of Hydrogen-1 = 2.58 g
The no. of moles of ₁¹H = 2.58 g / 1.00782 = 2.56 moles
Therefore, the mass defect for 2.58 g of ₁¹H is,
= 2.56 moles * (0.0275828 g / 4) = 0.01765 x 10⁻³ kg
Energy for (0.01765 x 10⁻³ kg) is,
= (0.01765 x 10⁻³ kg) (3.0 x 10⁸)² = 1.59 x 10¹² J
Try to untie the knot from the balloon let some air out and tie if back....
The properties of nonmetals- nonductile(cannot be turned into wire), dull color, high solubility, poor conductors, brittle(difficult to break) and have a wide range of colors. Compared to the properties of a metal- polished color, conducters of heat and electricity, cannot be dissolved, malleable(can bend). Would you like me to use certain elements to show this?
